Generic Webhooks Pro
Freeform's Generic Webhooks feature allows you to generate and POST the JSON from the Freeform submission data off to your own custom endpoint. It also contains a few form identifying entries.
This guide assumes you are familiar with what is necessary to connect Freeform data with a webhook from an external service, whether it's third party service or your own custom one, etc. For that matter, we cannot provide any assistance with setting this up, aside from the basics, and letting you know what kind of data to expect.
Setup Instructions
- Go to the Webhooks section in Freeform Settings (Freeform → Settings → Webhooks)
- Click the New Webhook button at the top right.
- For Service Provider, select Generic.
- Enter a name for the Name field.
- Add the webhook URL from your external source into the Webhook URL field in Freeform.
- Click the Save button.
To use this integration on your form(s), you'll need to configure each form individually.
- Visit the form inside the form builder.
- Click on the Integrations tab.
- Click on your Generic webhook in the list of available integrations.
- On the right side of the page:
- Enable the integration.
- Try submitting one of your forms that uses this webhook, and check if Freeform posts successfully to your custom endpoint.
Finished!
